Hello, my name is Macrina. I am 36 years old and I am originally from Mexico. I enjoy working at my job and spending time with my family. My greatest goal is that my children have a better future.Thank you so much for helping ECIRMAC help me!

​Meet Rosa:​Hi, I’m Rosa. I am six years old and today is my birthday; I can’t wait to eat cake! I’m from Guatemala. My favorite color is light purple. I like to color when we come to the Refugee Center. I am in first grade. I love to go to school and learn about numbers. I would rather stay in the United States than return to Guatemala, so I can continue attending school. When I am older I want to be a chef.Thank you for helping me follow my dreams!

Hello, we are the Francisco family. Our daughter is 6 years old. We are from Guatemala. Some of our favorite foods to eat as a family are beef, pizza and cake (especially our daughter)! A goal that I have for my family in the future is to study hard and be successful.Thank you so much for helping my family reach its goals!

Hello, I’m Olivia and I have five children: Isabel is 17, Margarita is 15, Maricella is 12, Antonio is 8 and Domingo is 7. We are from Guatemala. For a long time our family was separated, but we are so happy to all be together now. We love everything about the Champaign-Urbana community. We love the schools and playing at the park. One aspiration that I have for my family in the future is that my children study and earn a degree from the University.Thank you so much for supporting ECIRMAC and therefore supporting my family!
